The World's Strangest Ethnic Enclaves

I knew someone with name Zalewski. It stood out in the area where I live, that's why I remember it.

Osetians, also called Alans? (an ancient people).

Micronesians in Omaha. Or maybe it’s Des Moines. I forget which.

I love your videos, but you really need to work on pronunciation.

I am 15 percent Finnish because my great grandmother moved to Michigan from a small village in Finland.

as a surinamese javanese, thank you so much for sharing about us!

Bolgars not bolgeriens bolgeriens are slavs while bolgars are turks

There is bosnien town in turkey

Indo-Trinidadian here 👏🏾

Champa people are descendance of Chola dynasty. They rules that area over 1500+ years.

There’s an ethnic enclave of Micronesians living in a town in Minnesota called Milan. The class of Islander and Norse culture there is quite unique

There is a fairly large enclave of Algerians of Berber descent in New Caledonia. The French sent prisoners and so called revolutionaries away to the other side of the world.

Great video keep it up your doing amazing job

Finally some detail of other ethnicities in Haiti instead of just African diaspora.. You're doing your homework

Do one on the South Asia diaspora

scotland and iceland?

Good work! Very interesting stories. I'm welsh descendant in Argentina. I've learnt welsh and do my effort to keep it alive by teaching to other descendants... "O bydded yr Hen Iaith barhau"

👍👍

The Finnish settlers in the USA is fascinating. I was also always fascinated by German Settlers in Texas. Specifically the New Braunfels area.

Macedonians that are descended from soldiers in Alexander's army that are in Pakistan and Afghanistan. That would be intertsting.

Not "LEV-ant" but "Le-VAHNT". Not "YOU-ralick" but "Oo-RALick". Oh, I can't keep up with your mistakes. "Mam-locks" -- really? Please, study these words before pronouncing them. Your mis-pronunciations are painful to hear.

gagauz people are turks.they look like your average turkish.nothing about them is bulgarian.

Irish & Polish ethnic enclaves in Mexico, Anyone?

Polish immigrants created Zyklon A and Zyklon B

Bruce Lee's Way of the Dragon takes place in Italy (Rome) so it didn't surprise me that there would be a large number of ethnic Chinese in that country.

The world especially my beloved Americans have a very narrow view on ethnicity and race

Absolutely love this channel. Geogranerds unite!

Long live haiti france is still trying to destabilise them till this day

Love your videos. I am a historian/ geographer and your skill at making this interesting is without equal!
I could add a few enclaves that supersized me as well. (1) The Basques if California (2) the Mestisos of Mexico (an Orthodox Jewish community (3) a Turkish town where the people claim they are of Pathinian heritage and speak an ancient form of Arabic and Aramaic. They likely came from Syria (4) a Walloon enclave in Belgium where fewer than two dozen speakers still live and the Norse-Turks in Istanbul - a leftover of King Hardrada’s commission in the Vangaurian Guard.
Perhaps you can verify this interesting story as well. There are said to be as many as 100,000 Jews still living in Iran today. They were the remnant of those who chose to stay rather that go across desert and v rebuild. What day you???

what happened to “oh we have a visitor” ? let’s celebrate

I don’t know what enclaves mean . sounds different different

What about Akaroa, the French settlement in New Zealand?

It is written as Jász and pronounced as yaass. Some linguists say their Hungarian name comes from íjász, eyaass, meaning archer. The Hungarian word cserkész, pronounced as cherkass, meaning scout, comes from the name circassian. Circassians served as military scouts and they may have settled in Hungary with the Magyars or with the Jász.
There are also Hungarians in Lebanon since the 1200s. Some towns and region's names have Hungarian origin. There is a now dried out lake bed that is called Balaton as in lake Balaton in Hungary.
There are also the Kun (Cuman) people of Hungary. They were originally Kipchak Turk from the Golden Horde who settled in Hungary around the 1200s. They retained their turkic tongue until the early 1800s. Around that time Hungary became a melting pot and the Kun adopted the Hungarian language and assimilated into modernity. I'm a descendant of the Kun. In Hungary, there are many regions, towns, geographical place names contain the name Kun. There are also place names that contain Tatar and a distinct regional accent that is reminiscent of the way Tatars pronounce their own language.
There is a tribe in Kazakhstan descending from the Magyar.
Magyar kings were exhumed, dna recovered and tested and results show they were descended from Northern Afghanistan, known as Bactria back in antiquity.
Bin Laden's right hand man, Hekmatyar, comes from this northern tribe that is still there up to this day. His name makes a lot of sense to a Hungarian speaker. Hétmagyar would be the modern equivalent.
You also should have mentioned diaspora Hungarians in surrounding countries, making Hungarians the largest minority in Europe. Although, they did not move, the borders did.
Nem felejtünk.

Some other interesting ones are the Koryo-Saram of Central Asia (descendants of Koreans deported to Central Asia by Stalin), the Moghol people of Afghanistan (descendants of Mongolians who settled there under Genghis Khan), the Kikapu of Mexico (descendants of an Algonquin tribe from what is now considered the Midwestern US), the Garifuna of Central America (only surviving speakers of the Kalinago language of the Lesser Antilles), Kazakhs of Gansu, Uyghurs of Hunan, Kyrgyz of Heilongjiang, Dungans of Central Asia, Arboreshe of Italy, etc

There are too many, among the many you mention some: the Javanese in Suriname, the Hmong in French Guiana.The many enclaves in Belize.For example the Garifuna in Belize and the coast of Honduras and Nicaragua. The Mennonites in Chihuahua,Mexico ,in Belize and in Paraguay,etc.

I'm an Indian from Trinidad, a Caribbean country where Indians are an ethnic majority. We all descend from indentured laborers brought from all over India by the British to the Caribbean to work, however it was really a ruse as they were treated like absolute shit (imagine slavery 2.0). We struggled, gained independence, and now we're here, though not much people know about it.
Even in India they don't really know about us, as the Indian government has gone to great lengths to cover it up from mainstream light.

Prato became a hotbed for Covid cases as Chinese workers returned to the city from Wuhan, resulting in the death of tens of thousands of native Italians.

the Finns in upper Michigan are called "yoopers" in Michigan.

I've always been fascinated by Bariloche.

Masaman should publish a book with all the information from his fascinating videos. I would buy it.

As a Pole I can give some more examples from Poland. Vietnameese people in Wólka Kosowska and Tatars in Kruszyniany area.

On the other hand Poles formed some interesting communities also in Brazil, Turkey and Romania.

How about Brazilians in irish town of gort

Gimli in Manitoba Canada has a large Icelandic population.

Very interesting. A couple nominations are the Confederates who fled to South America after losing and seem to still pine for the CSA, and a large number of Japanese in Brazil.
There was a nation of mounted raiders in China around the sixth century called the 步落稽 (buloji in Mandarin) who seem to have been the forerunners of the Bulgarians.

Soy argentino "curepi " hace unos años estuve varios meses en Paraguay en el interior y realmente me dio gusto compartir con la gente más sencilla de este país ,gente amable y hospitalaria dónde uno termina borrando los límites entre países cuando se comparten cosas , celebro por su gente orgullosa de su idioma.abrazos en especial a la gente de Concepción .

Why do you use negative words such as wacky to describe mixed ethnic groups?

I always wondered why my Peruvian relatives has madagascar DNA now I know.
